Podcasts about Gene Sharp

Why did Trump hit 185 countries with tariffs, even uninhabited islands of penguins near Antarctica, but not Russia and its vassal state Belarus, used to wage Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine? It's almost like Trump is a Russian asset, repaying Russia for helping him rise to power twice and for all the easy money he received over the years when no credible institution would lend to this trust-fund kid who went bankrupt six times. But why crash the global economy? The answer only makes sense if you're Putin. As a dictator with no electoral pressure, Putin benefits from destabilizing democracies. By causing economic chaos, he weakens his competitors and fuels backlash against incumbents—exactly what helped Trump return to power in 2024. When you factor in election hacking and influence operations, it becomes clear: crashing the global economy gives the Kremlin an advantage in manipulating elections worldwide. This pressure on elected officials, like Keir Starmer in the UK or Macron in France, plays into Putin's hands. Trump's actions seem to align with that strategy. In this week's bonus episode, we discuss Gene Sharp's From Dictatorship to Democracy from our recent Gaslit Nation book club. On April 7 at 4 PM ET, the Security Committee will present on protecting our digital world in a dystopian era. Then, on April 14, we'll host a live taping with Patrick Guarasci, strategist behind Judge Susan Crawford's victory in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race, to discuss how to fight and win righteous battles, even if you're up against the richest man in the world.  Thank you to all who support Gaslit Nation–we could not make the show without you!  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Romania made headlines—and shocked the world—when it annulled a presidential election at the end of last year, citing evidence of foreign interference aimed at supporting a pro-Russian far-right candidate. It was a bold and necessary move, one that stands in stark contrast to what the U.S. should have done—and is now facing the consequences for not doing. But why would Romania take such a decisive stand? The answer lies in its history. Romania's Moscow-backed dictatorship was among the most brutal behind the Iron Curtain, a painful past that still unites much of the country today. In this week's episode, we delve into Romania's complex history, weaving in a personal story from Andrea's own family. Her father-in-law, Mihai Victor Serdaru, a medical student in 1956 Bucharest, attempted to lead a student protest in solidarity with the Hungarian Uprising next door. To help make sense of her years of research, Andrea turned to Dr. Corina Snitar, a historian and Lecturer in Central and Eastern European Studies at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Dr. Snitar is the author of Opposition, Repression, and Cold War: The 1956 Student Movement in Timișoara and contributed the chapter Women's Experiences of 1956: Student Protesters and Partisans in Romania to the book Women's Experiences of Repression in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The discussion of how to topple a dictator will continue in this week's bonus show for our Patreon community, where we'll dive into a lively book club salon for political scientist Gene Sharp's revolutionary handbook, From Dictatorship to Democracy. Sharp's work has inspired liberation movements worldwide, and we'll explore its urgent lessons for us today. Look for that on Friday. A huge thank you to everyone who supports the show. We could not make Gaslit Nation without you! “Just as military officers must understand force structures, tactics, logistics, munitions, the effects of geography, and the like in order to plot military strategy, political defiance planners must understand the nature and strategic principles of nonviolent struggle.” ― Gene Sharp, From Dictatorship to Democracy   Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

In this week's Gaslit Nation bonus show, we're joined by Olga Lautman, an expert on the Russian mafia. Her Substack, Trump Tyranny Tracker, is a vital resource documenting Trump's war against America, and the global war of fascism vs. democracy.    Olga made headlines recently by exposing connections between Trump's National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, and Russia, connected to SignalGate. (We call it the Kremlin Klown Kar for a reason!) Olga breaks down the implications of SignalGate and Trump's Putin-backed war against our democracy.     We also discuss a disturbing trend: an anti-war Russian scientist at Harvard was detained at immigration and faces deportation back to Russia, where she could be imprisoned or worse. This escalates alarm bells that the Trump regime is “disappearing” people, starting with the most vulnerable.    Olga offers insights on recent victories like the historic Democratic win in deep-red Trump country in Pennsylvania, as well as Trump's ongoing efforts to suppress votes and carry out his next coup. We also discuss whether to stay and fight or flee the country.   Stay and fight! Fleeing abroad, especially this early, is like obeying in advance.    Thank you to everyone who supports Gaslit Nation–we could not make this show without you!

What's the best way to fight evil? Laugh at fascist idiots and keep hunting Nazis, with your camera and the power of your voice.    This week, we're honored to welcome legend Sandi Bachom, an award-winning documentary filmmaker of such powerful films as Telling Jokes in Auschwitz and a Getty Images contributor whose work has appeared in acclaimed films like Laura Poitras's All The Beauty and All The Bloodshed, Danny's Strong's Dopesick, and Alex Gibney's Crime of the Century. But Sandi isn't just behind the camera—she's on the frontlines, documenting Nazis, like Trump's MAGA rallies, and the Charlottesville tiki torch march where Heather Heyer was murdered. Sandi was also at the Capitol on January 6th, capturing Trump's violent coup attempt in real time, footage used by the January 6 committee in Congress.  Stay loud. Stay brave. And as always—get ungaslit.    Join the Resistance Gaslit Nation Book Club: This Monday, March 31st at 4 PM ET, we're discussing From Dictatorship to Democracy by Gene Sharp—the handbook that inspired revolutions from Ukraine to the Arab Spring.

Click here to hear the full episode on Patreon. Second of Matthew's two-part examination of why the hell questions of force, non-violent resistance with and without force, unarmed violence and property damage, and armed violence are so incredibly hard to talk about in a culture thick with spiritual and political bypassing. Are we capable of understanding the difference between morality and strategy? Part 1 focused on philosophy and psychology while today the focus will be on definitions and tactics. Together, both parts will push back on conspiracism about the identities, motives, and methods  of antifascists. Both will present slices of the rich discourse on violence and non-violence from antifascist history, including clarifying definitions of key terms. Both will open a space to think carefully about what intensities of self and community defense are both useful and tolerable in the fight against fascism.  Today we'll get into the very thick weeds of how the “strategic nonviolence” research of Gene Sharp, Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan is framed as empirical, but may be way more about idealizing Gandhi than about facts on the ground.

This motivating discussion was supposed to run earlier, but then the third year anniversary of Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine was marked by Trump viciously reminding the world he works for Russia by kicking Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy out of the White House, after he, Vance, and MTG's boyfriend tried to ambush the war hero.    In our recorded first ever Gaslit Nation book club, we discussed Albert Camus' The Stranger (Matthew Ward translation) and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, to see what wisdom they hold for us today, and how these two works “talk to each other.”    For March, we're reading Gene Sharp's revolutionary handbook From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation, which informed revolts in Ukraine, the Arab Spring, Hong Kong, and beyond. Our March 31st salon at 4pm will open with a book club discussion of Dictatorship to Democracy. For April, we're reading (if you haven't already!)

Who is "Woke Jesus"? It's the actual Jesus from the Bible—the dark-skinned Jewish revolutionary who advocated for feeding the poor and healing the sick. The Christian nationalists who use Trump's MAGA movement as a weapon against our democracy are also at war with Jesus, as this week's guest explains. By the strictest definition, doesn't that make Trump the anti-Christ?    Investigative journalist Katherine Stewart, author of the new book Money, Lies, and God, examines the right-wing Libertarian elites taking over our democracy through white Christian nationalist foot soldiers and offers ways to fight back.

When Hitler's troops stormed into Norway on April 9, 1940, Germany's goal was to secure the country's 1200 km long coastline so iron ore from Swedish mines could continue to flow to the northern Norwegian port of Narvik — and eventually to the German war machine. But that wasn't all that Hitler and his followers hoped for, as Norwegian teachers would come to learn.Vidkun Quisling, a Nazi collaborator who nominally headed the Norwegian government during the occupation, wanted Norway to embrace Nazi ideology. He decided the best way to do this was through teachers and schoolchildren. In February 1942, he ordered all teachers to join a new union that would require them to introduce Nazi doctrine to their students. Students were also ordered to join the Norwegian equivalent of the Hitler Youth.But the teachers refused.They organized using tactics right out of a spy movie to resist — scribbling messages in invisible ink, meeting secretly in basements and train stations, and printing newsletters to coordinate efforts across the country. For their efforts, 1100 were arrested — and subjected to months of starvation, torture and hard labour.This week, the story of what happened when the teachers defied Hitler — and won!My guests on today's show are Martin Øystese and Unni Eikeseth.Learn more about the teachers' battle:The Teacher's Protest tells the full story of the teachers' resistance, in a 2020 video by Jon Seal and available for rental from Vimeo."Tyranny could not quell them," by Gene Sharp, a 24-page booklet published in 1958 by the International Pacifist Weekly that describes the teachers' rebellion, and how the tactics they used could help other groups that are interested in non-violent resistance.Lærarkrigen mot Quisling, the Norwegian three-part podcast about the teacher's rebellion (in Norwegian)Ø.

A Hetek Originals mai vendége Békés Márton történész, a Terror Háza Múzeum kutatási igazgatója. Két nagyon aktuális tanulmányt publikált az elmúlt hetekben a Látószög blogon a 21. századi bársonyos államcsínyekről, és ennek a magyarországi adaptációról, amelynek egy legutóbbi felvonását éppen most láthattuk az október 23-ai ünnepen. A cikkekre mutató linkeket hallgatóink megtalálják videónk leírásában. Az első írás címe Puccsvírus, és azzal az állítással kezdődik, hogy „a 21. századi bársonyos államcsínyek a világjárvány korában virálisan terjednek, szuperterjesztőiket pedig politikai laboratóriumban állítják elő.” Hogyan lehet értelmezni a vírushasonlat ebben a közéleti-politikai vonatkozásban? A tanulmányában három jellemzőt említ, ami egyaránt jellemző a színes forradalmakra és a vírusokra: a nagyon gyors, virális terjedés, a destabilizálás, és a gyors mutálódás. De mi teremti meg ehhez a közeget, hol van – a hasonlatnál maradva – a globális forradalmi hullám „Wuhanja”, kiinduló pontja, ahonnan az az egész ránk szabadult? Ha a térképet nézzük, hogy hol törtek ki az ezredforduló környéke óta ilyen társadalmi felfordulást, destabilizációt kiváltó forradalmak, akkor két térséget lehet kiemelten látni. Az egyik a korábban a szovjet érdekszférába tartozó országok, Kelet-Európában és Ázsiában, a másik a tágabb értelemben vett Közel-Kelet és arab világ. Miért ez a két térség lett a célpont azok számára, akik a forradalmak terjesztésén fáradoznak? Ma sokat beszélnek arról, hogy az Egyesült Államok egyfajta közvetett, mások által vívott háborút visel Oroszország ellen Ukrajnában. De az ön tanulmányból úgy tűnik, hogy Amerika a forradalmakat is hasonló módon, különböző külső csatornákon és szereplőkön át szervezi. Ki és hogyan fogalmazta meg a proxy forradalmak módszertanát? 2016-ban az amerikai elnökválasztási kampány egyik botránya volt, amikor a republikánus jelölőgyűlés egyik szónoka, Ben Carson kijelentette: Hillary Clinton egyik „hőse és mentora” Saul Alinsky volt, egy olyan tudós, aki Lucifernek ajánlotta élete főművét. Az amerikai médiában többen igyekeztek nevetségessé tenni Carsont, aki egyébként civilben az egyik legismertebb amerikai agysebész, butasággal így aligha vádolható. Emlékszem, akkor mi is utánanéztünk, mire is gondolhatott Carson, és kiderült, hogy igaza volt. Alinksy az 1971-ben megjelent Rules for Radicals (Radikálisok szabálykönyve) című művét, mások mellett, valóban Lucifernek ajánlotta, ezekkel a szavakkal: „Ne felejtsük el legalább futólag elismerésünket kifejezni a legelső radikális iránt. Annak a személynek, aki minden legendánk, mítoszunk és a történelmünk szerint (és ki tudja, hogy hol végződik a mitológia és hol a történelem – vagy azt, hogy melyik melyik), az ember által ismert legelsőként lázadt fel a hatalmon lévők ellen, és ezt olyan hatékonyan tette, hogy királyságot is szerzett magának – Lucifernek.” Miért lehetett vonzó példakép Akinskynek a lázadás és a felforgatás ősatyja? Miért lényeges pont a destabilizáció ezekben a proxy forradalmakban? Ha még nem tetted, iratkozz fel a csatornánkra, és mondd el kommentben a véleményed.

Both Both Bruce Flattery and Arthur Edelstein are interested in nonviolence, including especially Gandhi's and Gene Sharp's thinking. Is there any way of applying nonviolence to stop the war in Ukraine? We consider the possibility of Ukrainians' using civilian based defence against an invasion by Russia, along the lines of the resistance by Danes against Nazis in World War II. Such a plan would require advance planning, and it is probably too late for that now. It is more likely (though still very unlikely) that Russians would bring down their own leadership. for the video, audio podcast, transcript and public comments: https://tosavetheworld.ca/episode-479-nonviolence-against-war.

Since the war in Ukraine, many have been wondering how to get rid of dictators like Putin. We asked ourselves the same question and therefore invited Srđa Popović to our podcast. Srđa was part of the movement that liberated Serbia from dictator Slobodan Milošević in the late 90s. Today he advises movements around the world from Sudan, the US to Brazil. There he supports activists who fight for democracy. That's why the Guardian once called him the "architect of global revolt." In the podcast, he talks about his lessons learnt about strategy, how to use humor against the military, and the relationship between dictatorships and the climate crisis.

Seit dem Krieg in der Ukraine fragen sich viele, wie man Diktatoren wie Putin loswird. Das haben wir uns auch gefragt und deshalb Srđa Popović in unseren Podcast eingeladen. Srđa war Teil der Bewegung, die Ende der 90er Serbien vom Diktator Slobodan Milošević befreit hat. Heute berät er Bewegungen auf der ganzen Welt vom Sudan, den USA bis nach Brasilien. Dort unterstützt er Aktivist*innen, die für Demokratie auf die Straße gehen. Der Guardian hat ihn deshalb mal als "Architekten der globalen Revolte" bezeichnet. Im Podcast spricht er darüber, was er über Strategie gelernt hat, wie man mit Humor das Militär entwaffnet und was Diktaturen mit der Klimakrise zu tun haben.

TODAY'S GUEST Pia Mancini is a co-founder and CEO at Open Collective, a chair of the Democracy Earth Foundation, and a democracy activist who helped create the DemocracyOS platform and launched a Net Party in Argentina. Her TED Talk, about upgrading democracy for the internet era, has exceeded a million views and helped reshape the conversation around the meeting place of democracy and the internet. She is a Y Combinator alum, a young global leader at the World Economic Forum, and she's also Roma's mum.   EPISODE SUMMARY In this conversation we talk about: Her journey from empowering citizens in the political process to empowering collectives to self-fund and self-govern Her vision for a more inclusive and expansive digital democracy The tension between idealism and the realities of life, politics, and system We also discuss: How do we, as individuals, create a system and an environment that affects change? How can we use technology to upgrade democracy? How do we trust ourselves and each other? There is no more important discussion, I believe, than how our new technologies should be used and woven into the fabric of our public life. And how to move from chaotic, even destructive populism, to a constructive model of participation and empowerment. My conversation with Pia is one of the most fascinating conversations, in an ongoing series of design conversations we've lined up for you on design for democracy, social change, and positive impact.   TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS [2:48] Life During Covid [10:26] Early Influences [20:54] Upgrading Democracy [30:23] DemocracyOS and Liquid Democracy [38:07] The Dream of a Borderless and Equal World [46:24] Net Party and the Clash with Reality [53:33] Maintaining Hope and Motivation [58:40] Building a New Narrative [1:03:55] A Transition to an Open Collective [1:21:14] A Sermon of Inspiration     EPISODE LINKS Pia's Links

Michael Beer has updated Gene Sharp's 1973 book, now listing 350 tactics for nonviolent action. He and Metta discuss the ethical and efficacy considerations about the choice among these civil methods of resisting.

Robert Helvey was a US army colonel who turned to strategic nonviolent resistance after meeting Gene Sharp. Here he recounts to Metta some of his efforts to teach that approach to the ethnic warriors in Burma. Then they discuss the current crisis in Myanmar.

Stephen Zunes, professor of Politics and International Studies at University of San Francisco, joins Michael and Stephanie on this episode of Nonviolence Radio to talk about how the coup attempt on January 6 reveals some remarkable and genuinely hopeful forces growing inside our democracy. Rather than fear and outrage, Professor Zunes encourages us to take heart in the effective and well-planned nonviolent response by many activists to the angry protesters. This response was not spontaneous, indeed for months various groups and organizations offered targeted trainings on a range of nonviolent methods — and activists clearly learned some key strategies necessary for effective nonviolent action: “You have this combination of people who have shown a willingness to hit the streets and a willingness to be willing to face arrest and to engage in massive noncooperation. There was one thing that was really important about these trainings: it emphasized the importance of noncooperation that underscores what Gene Sharp and a lot of other people – Gandhi and so many other people that I’ve talked about before – governments are only as strong as people’s willingness to cooperate.” The nonviolent response on January 6 to the violent challenge to the American democracy could only have happened given a growing commitment to nonviolence, one that we have every right to expect will continue should greater threats emerge in the future. And it is precisely this commitment that, with effort and dedication, will allow us to listen better and come together as citizens who may disagree on this or that policy, but ultimately care deeply about each other as human beings.

Christian radio is among the tools that has been used to great effect to get the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. In this interview we talk with Gene Sharp, founder of Independent Baptist Media, about the medium of radio and how it continues to be an asset to the work of worldwide missions. To learn more about the ministry of Independent Baptist Media you can visit their website at ibmradio.com. Your feedback is always welcome. You can contact Lee by email at greatcommissionconversations@gmail.com.

We use the framework of Gene Sharp's "pillars of support" and what may very well be the greatest high school movie of all time, Mean Girls, to explain how movements can go about analyzing and overthrowing the regimes that rule over them.Support Anthony Smith and others arrested by the Philadelphia PD for protesting the murder of Walter Wallace Jr. by donating here to Philly REAL Justice.Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/thisistherevolution)

Kenosha, Revisiting A Dramatic Event We Just Visited A Few Weeks Ago, No, Time to Move Forward I naively thought I wouldn’t have to publish an addendum to this episode but alas here we are again. I don’t spend time going over the details of what happened because you already know the story; what I spend my time doing in this episode is looking at why Marching is not enough. I speak about the difference between Marching and Protesting, suggesting books people may want to busy themselves with reading to see the difference in action. This is not intended to be an episode built around grievances, not is it an episode build around sulking around or feeling sorry for ourselves – nope, it’s time to move ahead. We know what the situation is, we know what dangers the environment present to us, now we have to gather our strength and move ahead without any delay. I mention a couple books in the episode, including Gene Sharp’s The Politics of Nonviolent Action and David Roediger’s Working Towards Whiteness. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Brilliant theorist of non-violent social change or Cold War defense intellectual and strategist? Gene Sharp has had a tremendous influence on progressive ideas and activism since the early 1970s and his ideas are so pervasive that at times they appear to be without a history, just part of the air we breath on the left. Scholar Marcie Smith aims to place Sharp back in his political context, taking his ideas seriously, and seriously questioning them.

     On my SONGS TO CHEW podcast this week, we’ll hear a song from my RIVER OF LIFE album called “Good Book”.  It’s a very useful book for all of us here in the United States, and it’s not about the Bible.  It’s a book written by Dr. Gene Sharp, called “How Non-violent Struggle Works.”  It’s a step by step explanation of how to overthrow a dictator, especially useful in our world now, where strong-men dictators feel they can run rough-shod over the people who live in their countries.

I strongly recommend checking out the "City of Refuge" podcast. I think the story encompasses all I've talked about so far. You can see how Christians justify killing Christians, how the teachings of Christ compel over force, how God's hand orchestrates miraculous salvation through seemingly pointless suffering and death of those who implement faithful obedience, how evil so often stems from consequentialist ethics, etc. It really all comes out in this story. If you want to just have a list of all the episode titles at hand, then sit down and listen to the podcast and check off how you see each of the items explored in the series. It's fantastic. https://wagingnonviolence.org/podcast/ FOR A LIST OF RECOMMENDED RESOURCES AND A BEGINNER/ADVANCED READING SCHEDULE, CLICK THE FOLLOWING LINK:

Marcie Smith, and adjunct lecturer in economics at Jon Jay (CUNY) questions the sanctification of Gene Sharp, who has been called the "Machiavelli of nonviolence," and portrayed as apolitical. Smith talks to me about her recent piece, published on NonSite called "Change Agent: Gene Sharp's Noeliberal Nonviolence", which looks at Sharp's noeliberal ideology and his role as a defense state intellectual and Cold War champion. This I play the audio of a book talk I attended by Max Blumenthal about his latest book The Management of Savagery How America's National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Donald Trump.

WARNING - This episode contains some strong language. This second episode of the Extinction Rebellion Podcast looks at one of the Rebellion's core values and strategies: nonviolence. The theme is explored from a few different angles and its significance to Extinction Rebellion is explained. This episode is presented by Dave Anderson and Jessica Townsend with interviews conducted by Marijn van de Geer and Jessica Townsend in the Extinction Rebellion offices. We interviewed the following people to help explain what nonviolence means: Roger Hallam - PhD researcher on effective radical campaign design at King's College London, organic farmer and co-founder of Extinction Rebellion. Clare Farrell - Street artist and fashion designer, Arts Coordinator and co-founder of Extinction Rebellion. Skeena Rathor - Labour councillor for Central Stroud and active member of political and strategic working groups for Extinction Rebellion. Roger starts off the episode by talking us through the political effectiveness of nonviolent direct action, its precedents and the scholarship around it. If you are interested in hearing more from Roger on this subject, this film will be of interest: https://youtu.be/jSOlRNCO9L8 He references the work of Gene Sharp in particular (Gene Sharp: 'From Dictatorship to Democracy', 1993) which was influential in the Arab Spring, Iranian protests and Serbia. The work of American political scientist Erica Chenoweth is referenced a few times in this episode by both Roger and Clare. As an introduction to her work there is an interesting TED talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSehRlU34w and we also recommend reading 'Why Civil Resistance Works The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict' by Erica Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephanher (2012). We are hoping to have a special episode in which we interview Erica Chenoweth in greater depth about her work later in the year. Clare discusses the way the art working group of XR ensures that our actions have many explicit and subliminal nonviolent messages. She goes on to consider if the nonviolent ethos of the movement makes it attractive to faith groups. Finally Skeena Rathor looks at the nonviolent culture of XR in its day-to-day running. During every evening of the Rebellion starting on 15 April 2019 there will be Zoom meetings with Gayano Shaw offering emotional support for rebels in addition to the support from XR's own Regenerative Culture Team's support.

Simulacro eleitoral. É assim que Sedrick de Carvalho define o ato eleitoral que acontecerá em Agosto de 2017 em Angola. As eleições presidenciais, agendadas para o dia 23, marcarão o final da presidência de José Eduardo dos Santos, 38 anos depois de ter sido empossado pela primeira vez em 1979. Pelo MPLA, partido que está atualmente no poder, concorrerá João Lourenço, atual Ministro da Defesa e vice-presidente do partido. Mas o que vai mudar em Angola? A repressão - física e judicial - existe desde há muito. Em Portugal, foi notícia o processo “15+2” que levou à prisão de 17 jovens, acusados de tentativa de golpe de estado, porque liam e discutiam um livro. Debatiam diferentes soluções para transitar de um sistema autoritário para uma democracia reforçada. Falavam da Primavera Árabe e das ideologias de desobediência civil não violenta. António Luvualu de Carvalho, embaixador Angolano Itinerante para as questões políticas, classificou o tal livro que liam, “Da Ditadura à Democracia”, de Gene Sharp, como subversivo, enquanto debatia com José Eduardo Agualusa, escritor angolano, na RTP: -Este livro é altamente subversivo. - dizia Luvualu de Carvalho -Eu concordo consigo, é um livro altamente subversivo mas em regimes totalitários. Não é subversivo em Democracias. Este livro não leva ao derrube de Democracias. - respondeu José Eduardo Agualusa. Sedrick de Carvalho é um dos 15+2. Foi acusado em 2015 de crime de “atos preparatórios de rebelião”. Esteve preso durante um ano. Dois anos depois, a repressão continua. Segundo o estudo lançado pelo Domingos da Cruz este ano, 1 em cada 3 professores angolanos acredita poder ser perseguido ou morto. Jornalistas são condicionados - Rafael Marques do Maka Angola foi acusado de “crime de injúria e ultraje a orgão de soberania” depois de revelar alegadas práticas corruptas desempenhadas pelo Procurador Geral da República. Os canais da SIC foram retirados das plataformas televisivas angolanas DSTV e Zap depois da SIC ter lançado uma série de reportagens sobre a desigualdade, a pobreza, a corrupção e as condições desumanas em que crianças vivem no país. Ativistas e manifestantes continuam a ser reprimidos fisicamente e até presos - como foi o caso de David Saley, Paulo Mabiala, António Mabiala, Mário André, Nzunzi Zacarias Mabiala, Waldemar Aguinaldo e Adão Bunga, presos durante uma manifestação e condenados a 45 dias de prisão no passado Maio. Quando falta pouco mais de 1 mês para que os angolanos sejam chamados a votar, começamos a cobrir as eleições angolanas no É Apenas Fumaça. Durante as próximas semanas, teremos várias entrevistas focadas neste tema, procurando aprofundar este assunto antes e depois do dia 23. Hoje conversamos com o Sedrick de Carvalho, jornalista e ativista angolano pela democracia em Angola. Falámos sobre o que se tem passado durante o processo de preparação para as eleições e sobre que expectativas tem ele em relação ao futuro do país. Ouve aqui o novo episódio com o Sedrick de Carvalho sobre as eleições Angolanas. Support the show.

The Albert Einstein Institution is a nonprofit organization founded by Dr. Gene Sharp in 1983 to advance the study and use of strategic nonviolent action in conflicts throughout the world. We are committed to the defense of freedom, democracy, and the reduction of political violence through the use of nonviolent action.  Our goals are to understand the dynamics of nonviolent action in conflicts, to explore its policy potential, and to communicate this through print and other media, translations, conferences, consultations, and workshops.   The Institution has been responsible for the translation and dissemination of some of the most influential texts on nonviolent action. Many of these works have been studied among resistance movements worldwide. http://www.aeinstein.org/about/ 

Now that the Fourth of July fireworks are over and the smoke of nationalism has cleared slightly, it's time to pick up the trash on the beaches and look at truth instead of flag-waving. This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we offer a special program. According to historian and researcher Walter Conser (not to mention President John Adams) the Revolutionary War was not what won our independence from Great Britain . . . and the answer to what did may surprise you to the point of rethinking everything you've been told about the founding of the United States of America.

Nas últimas semanas, o assunto mais comentado na mídia tem sido as manifestações por todo o Brasil. A principal ferramenta de comunicação destes movimentos populares tem sido as redes sociais, responsáveis por organizar as pessoas em um determinado lugar, em determinado horário. O que a maioria dos internautas não sabe é que desde o século passado estudiosos já antecipavam esse tipo de revolução não-violenta em vários países do mundo. Um destes pesquisadores é Gene Sharp, doutor em teoria política pela Universidade de Oxford e pesquisador do Centro de Estudos Internacionais de Harvard, que publicou o livro "Da Ditadura à Democracia" em 1993. Saiba mais sobre como as redes sociais têm influenciado as manifestações populares neste podcast com o professor da FIAP, Almir Meira Alves – coordenador dos cursos de Engenharia da Computação e Engenharia de Produção 2.0. da FIAP.

Dr. Gene Sharp is one of the world's leading scholars on nonviolent struggle. He founded the Albert Einstein Institution in 1983, where he remains a Senior Scholar today. He is also Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth. For nearly thirty years he held a research appointment at Harvard University's Center for International Affairs. He is the author of various books, including Social Power and Political Freedom (1980), Making Europe Unconquerable (1985), Civilian-Based Defense (1990), From Dictatorship to Democracy (1993, 2002, and 2003), and Waging Nonviolent Struggle: Twentieth Century Practice and Twenty-First Century Potential (2005). His most recent book is Sharp?s Dictionary of Power and Struggle: Vocabulary of Civil Resistance in Conflict (2012). His writings have been published in more than 40 languages. He holds a B.A. and an M.A. from Ohio State University and a D.Phil. in political theory from Oxford University. Dr. Sharp will discuss his life?s work at the 8th Annual Morton Deutsch Awards Ceremony.

Gene Sharp is a political thinker whose influence is now spoken of in same breath as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. But he is no platform speaker or figurehead at a demonstration. Rather, a quietly spoken political philosopher who's been writing about non-violent struggle for 50 years. What's changed is that his most celebrated pamphlet - From Dictatorship to Democracy - is now grabbing attention around the world. He's been hailed as having helped mould protest movements from Burma to Serbia to Egypt. What is it that Gene Sharp has been able to unlock?(Image: People flash the V (peace) sign during a demonstration. Credit: AFP/Getty Images)
